  • Cecilio Waterman scored before taking over as an improvised goalkeeper in Universidad de Concepción’s 2-1 victory over Universidad de Chile.
  • The referee reported that Waterman wore the goalkeeper shirt of an expelled player, potentially breaching competition rules.
  • The Disciplinary Tribunal will determine whether sanctions apply.

Cecilio Waterman went from scoring the winning side’s goal to protecting its lead in goal, but the unusual switch has put him before Chile’s Disciplinary Tribunal.

The Panamanian striker helped Universidad de Concepción beat Universidad de Chile 2-1 in the Primera League. In the final minutes, he put on goalkeeper’s clothing and took up the position after a player had been sent off.

The referee recorded an irregularity in the match report: Waterman used the goalkeeper shirt belonging to the expelled player. The disciplinary body will now decide whether that breached the championship regulations and whether a sanction should follow.
